To establish a chamber of commerce, you need a fixed location.
Mu Siyu suggested it to Lu Yi, and Lu Yi immediately designated a piece of land for her and asked her to make her own arrangements.
The land was not in a busy area, it was a bit remote, and there was nothing lively around it, but Mu Siyu was very satisfied with it.
"Boss Mu." An old voice sounded.
Mu Siyu turned back to look at the person coming.
She remembered him. He was a merchant who had just moved to Hubei City. His surname was Zhou Fugui.
"Boss Zhou." Mu Siyu nodded towards him, "Is something wrong with you?"
"I just moved to Hubei City, and I'm not very familiar with everything here. I wonder if I would be honored to be the host and invite all of our hosts in Hubei City to have a casual dinner?" Zhou Fugui said with a smile, "We are doing business.
, the most important thing is to make more friends. The more friends you have, the more roads you will have. Since you want to develop in the north of Shanghai for a long time, of course you have to pay homage to the local mountain temple."
"Boss Zhou just makes the decision."
"That's right." Zhou Fugui said with a smile, "Boss Mu has many connections and good popularity. Everyone will listen to you. If you can give me a favor, others will definitely give me the favor."
"I will go." Mu Siyu said, "Is there anything else?"
"No, then I'll send a message to Boss Mu after confirming the time."
"good."
Zhou Fugui said goodbye with a smile.
Mu Siyu got on the carriage, leaned to the side and said, "Why doesn't Boss Ying sell paint to us?"
Ziyuan spoke from the side: "My servant has dealt with Boss Ying. He is an honest man and does business properly. I don't know what happened this time, but the business is doing well. He said he wants to go home and farm.
"
"No more business?"
"yes."
Mu Siyu pondered.
"Madam, I asked Kite, and he said that he had shopped around before and found that only Boss Ying's paint is the best. If he stops doing this business, we won't be able to find anyone else who can replace his varnish for a while.
"
"Go to Ying's shop first, and I'll talk to him."
Zi Su said from the side: "That boss Zhou just now, for some reason, I don't like him."
"When the Chamber of Commerce was established, I became the president of the Chamber of Commerce. He joined the Chamber of Commerce in Hubei City and will be one of the shop owners I have to manage from now on. As long as he doesn't cause me any trouble, we don't have to like him." Mu Siyu said,
"Besides, most businessmen are like this. In this era, although businessmen are not of lowly status, they are incomparable with those officials. If they are not well-rounded, they will not earn such a large family fortune."
The store is packing up things.
When Mu Siyu and others got out of the car, they saw Boss Ying directing his men to move the tables and chairs in the store.
"Boss Mu, why are you here?" Boss Ying came over to greet him.
"Boss Ying, what are you..." Mu Siyu looked at the waiters walking back and forth.
"I'm not afraid of Boss Mu's jokes. I want to go home and farm and quit this business." Boss Ying's old face was full of exhaustion.
"You won't do it anymore?"
"yes."
"Then I won't advise you anymore."
Zisu and Ziyuan looked at Mu Siyu.
Just give up?
Just now in the carriage, she said she was trying to persuade him.
"Boss Ying, I want to discuss one last business deal with you, do you want to listen?" Mu Siyu said, "If you agree, you can also take a sum of money home for retirement, and you can live more comfortably for the rest of your life.
."
"This is not the place to talk. Boss Mu, please go inside and talk."
Half an hour later, Mu Siyu came out of Ying's store.
Zisu and Ziyuan didn't come back to their senses until they got on the carriage.
"My master, did you persuade Boss Ying to sell you the entire lacquer-making craft?"
"He wants to go back to retire. I don't know the reason. He must have some unspeakable secrets. We can't force others to do things they don't like, so we have to find another way. After much deliberation, I decided to buy his team directly and let him give it to me.
Bring a trustworthy person out, so that we don’t have to be embarrassed, and he can still make a big fortune, isn’t this a win-win situation?”
"It has indeed solved the current trouble. With this skill, there will be no need to be embarrassed in the future." Ziyuan said, "Does Madam have someone to choose?"
"I know almost all the clerks in the store, which ones can be used and which ones can only be used for errands. I have a list in my mind." Mu Siyu said.
The construction of the bridge was put on the agenda. After discussion, the entire chamber of commerce decided to donate money to build the bridge, and the names of all donors would be engraved on the bridge.
This is the first thing the Chamber of Commerce does after it is established.
The people all over Shanghai North City are talking about the president of the Chamber of Commerce, and they say that the husband and wife teamed up to build Shanghai North City together, which is a good story.
"Madam, someone is visiting." Zi Su came in from outside.
"who?"
"Mrs. You."
Mu Siyu thought for a long time and finally remembered who this Mrs. You was.
"Invite her in."
Mu Siyu put away the account book in her hand and asked Ziyuan to make tea.
Ye Yingge walked in with small steps.
"Sister Mu." Ye Yingge saluted.
"Don't be polite, please sit down." Mu Siyu didn't know the reason for her visit, so he didn't feel comfortable speaking, so he waited for her to speak first.
"Sister, I want to ask Sister Mu for advice." Ye Yingge said with a distressed look on his face, "You also know my situation. Youjia has some shops, but they always lose money. If this continues, no matter how big the family business is, it will
I lost everything. I want to do business with Sister Mu, but I wonder if Sister Mu can give me this opportunity?"
"You want to do business with me?" Mu Siyu was surprised, "I'm in the furniture business. Not only do I have my dream home in Hubei City, but 'this one' also occupies a certain market. If you go into the furniture business,
I’m afraid there won’t be any good results.”
"I know it too, so I don't dare to think about this piece of fat." Ye Yingge said, "I have not been idle during this period. I have learned some skills in blending spices and fats from several masters. I want women to like it.
Rouge Shop."
"Since you have already made up your mind, how can you say you want to do business with me?" Mu Siyu didn't understand.
"I have a plan, but I'm really stupid and not a business person. Running a store requires skills. I can't control people, and the people in charge are not afraid of me, so I want to ask my sister to help me.
Take care of the business. My sister only needs to manage, and I will be responsible for the store and supply of goods. How about we split the business 50-50?"
Mu Siyu was silent for a moment.
"Yingge, I really want to help you, but I really can't help you. You should know that I am the president of the Chamber of Commerce now, and I need to take care of the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce. I also need to keep an eye on the amusement park project, and now there is another bridge.
Although I left the project in charge of others, I have to frequently intervene in such an important matter, which is related to the development of the entire Hubei City. You'd better find someone else to cooperate! I'm sorry."
